/dev/null 2.0

I ported /dev/null to Ace2, and it wasn't as difficult as I had feared.

This addon will mute the yell channel when you enter a capital city, eg. Ironforge, Orgrimmar and so on. I got tired of people abusing the yell channel in there, but I didn't want to turn it off entirely. So I made this.

When you enter a zone that is on the blacklist, /dev/null will look for any yell messages, and send them into the void.

On the todo list, is an ignore list for NPCs. I'm sick to death of the spammy townsfolk of Stormwind City.

I'm also considering adding the ability to filter out uninteresting messages like "Alice has defeated Bob in a duel.", that you get constantly while standing in Ironforge AH.

I'd like an option to mute general/local def channels while in raid instances. Some idiot always says something stupid about waffles, pancakes, chuck norris or something as relevant and then the spamming commences.

Anyway, IF someone decides to take over this mighty fine addon I'd so love to be able to squelch channels like /1 when in instances. I hate the spam, but leaving General/Local Defence and rejoining when I get out of MC/BWL whatever messes up my channel numbering at times. A mute function would be soo much better. Can EarPlug do that? I thought that was only for the LFG channel, and I left that as soon as 1.11 came out :p.

And yeah, the poor children of Stormwind get my help anytime they want (children's week :p). I don't need to be reminded of them everytime I'm in IF though... nor do I want to buy "Warm wholesome bread" all that often, and don't get me started on Topper McNabb in Stormwind, he makes the AH there unbearable...

Sorry for the long post, spammage just stirs up my emotions too much. Guess I needed to spam abit about it :p

this looks like a sweet addon and im giving it a go currently, works nicely, cept you cant turn debug off, so for im gettin flooded with debug messages constantly (note theyre sent to what i believe is chat frame 3 both with debug enabled and disabled)
atm its in an unusable state for me as that frame is strictly guild/raid
other than the no debug issue, looks great
wish i knew something/anything about lua,ace and the wow api to fix it myself =\

Hi lacindas,

Thanks for the nice comments, most of the work was done by Zalkalin, I only added a couple of things.

Sorry about the debug messages spamming your guild/raid window :(, I've changed the code to set the default to off and put the new version in the SVN.

Your comment got me checking the AceDebug-2.0 Library and I found a bug in it which I have reported, it is ignoring the debug setting when using debug messages with level numbers as I am.

The change you made to comment out the code is the best way to go until the AceDebug-2.0 Library has been changed, once that has happened you can update from the SVN and all should be quiet again for you. :)
